A little help please

**fabian** · 25 May 2009, 09:27 AM

I have an information site and its in Lincoln. Now the BBC and RSPB have jointly set up a webcam in the Cathedral to monitor the progress of 2 Peregrine Falcons and their 2 chicks.

I'd like to set up a feed on one of my sites pages, from the webcam, but I dont know how to go about this.

Can this be done in Xara and if yes, then how.

I'd be grateful for any help.

Thankyou.

That would be this

But there's no number after it, like you had in your post.

Do you want JUST the webcam as your link opens the whole of the BBC Lincolnshire page?

It looks like their image is updated every 10 minutes:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/webcams...incsfalcon.jpg

and it's not live streaming. You could link to the image, refreshing the page every 10 minutes and/or put a little note telling your viewers to refresh their browser to see a new image.

Make a 320 x 270 rectangle and try this in its Web Properties >> Placeholder >> Replace with HTML code:

<iframe src="COPY AND PASTE YOUR LINK HERE" width="320" height="240" marginheight="0" s marginwidth="0" scrolling ="no"></iframe>

or maybe this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
</head>
<style type="text/css">
#container {
width: 320px;
margin: 0 auto;
top: 0px;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="container">
<iframe src="COPY AND PASTE YOUR LINK HERE" width="320" height="240" marginheight="0" s marginwidth="0" scrolling ="no"></iframe>
<div><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Arial, sans-serif"><div align="center">This page auto-refreshes every ten minutes,<br />please use F5 to refresh your browser.</div></font></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

You should get permission before you do this - it's bad practice to piggyback someone else's resource without asking first.

Good point, sorted! I've got friends at BBC Radio Lincolnshire, best not be upsetting them! Just caught my eye that "fabian" was in Lincoln, which is just down the road from where I live. Small world, innit!

I was totally under the impression that you were building an official info site and was working with the RSPB to produce a site which monitors the birds and that it was only you that had access you the cam for your site.
This completely changes my answer (which I will remove)
